@Lord_Derpathon Afraid not, no. Also, most of Maelstrom isn’t so pure of ideology, in my opinion. They’re selfish about it, just like many others.

[J Gray @JGrayCreator]

This misconception comes occasionally, so I thought I’d address it.

In Cyberpunk RED, medical grade cyberware (functional prosthetic arms, artificial hearts, etc) do not cause Humanity Loss. Neither does gender affirmation bodysculpting/surgery.

[J Gray @JGrayCreator]

@experimilk Even then, not if we classify it as Fashionware (which does, on occasion, give bonuses). In general, yes.

@Piffinatour @Justwatching946 @Steven7735 @ChibisuKoshi @UMA_Nero No, you can still be homeless in RED.

I wrote two new Cyberpunk REF missions for Gen Con 2026. One has light horror vibes and touches on a few classic tropes. The other is a retrieval mission with branching paths for GMs to follow. Feeling good about both.

[J Gray @JGrayCreator]

@nexilia_ Afraid that’s not a question for me to answer. At the moment anyway.

[J Gray @JGrayCreator]

Just wanna point out, Cyberpunk had AIs in it way back in the 1980s. Way before many modern TTRPGs. One of them was named Alt.

[J Gray @JGrayCreator]

@Jcstearnswriter It’s all good. I appreciate both the motivation behind the impulse and the deeper look.

[J Gray @JGrayCreator]

Weird things I have written into Cyberpunk canon:
* The birthdays of several legends. Alt Cunningham shares mine.
* A gang named after a weird phenomenon involving rats.
* A private furry club.
* An entire military base.
* A Raffen Shiv gang that eats toes like grapes.

@wingland @TatenoKousetsu Ah! Yes. Thanks!

[J Gray @JGrayCreator]

@AlphanixYoutube That’s really for CD Projekt Red. I work on the tabletop game.

Each of the four (2013, 2020, 2045, 2077) main eras of Cyberpunk are different in ways both subtle and blatant. Technology evolves. The world evolves. Language evolves. Eddies, for example, is 2077 slang while choombatta is rarely heard said by young people past 2020.

@C2UXN3T Love the Devil’s Cut. Harry is a great character and the chance to do a mission that’s more heist than firefight is a delight.

[J Gray @JGrayCreator]

Night City 2045 is stuffed with thousands of words worth of new lore for Cyberpunk. It is also contains callbacks to the 2020 era and callforwards to the 2077 era. Some fairly obscure.

I’m curious which ones you have found. Reply and let me know, please.

@HeroOfVortex @AlphanixYoutube Go to @DriveThruRPG. You can buy our books digitally there. PDF form and downloadable.

@MarcusCVance @Cayn193755 That’s basically a pistol with a fancy bayonet, mechanically speaking. Some upgrades for additional deadliness.

[J Gray @JGrayCreator]

@AlphanixYoutube Maybe someday we’ll do something like that, but for us at least, we are focused on our game.

[J Gray @JGrayCreator]

@john23412499 Around 2040 it shifted from gender-based to “role based.” Bottom and top.

[J Gray @JGrayCreator]

@Teraborst Agreed, though a critical injury system in RED makes combat more diversely brutal, in my opinion.
